Default Olive Oil with Herbs - Room Temp OK?

I just bought a bottle of "Dipping Oil Herbs" that contains all kinds
of DRIED herbs, spices & garlic. I added the recommended amount to 2
cups of extra virgin olive oil. My question is can I let this sit out
at room temp until we use it all up - probably a few weeks - OR do I
need to store it in the fridge? In the back of my mind, I'm thinking
I heard one time that you should not let oil that has garlic in it sit
out or you run the risk of botulism. Does that apply to DRIED garlic
too or just fresh?

Thank you!
